Exposed brick. Double-volume glass. A rooftop pool with the best sunset in the city. The Tannery is 96 apartments where an industrial icon used to be — built for people who'd rather make noise than fit in.
Phase 1 · Q2 2027
From 1932 until the mid-1990s, the Woodstock Leather & Hide Co. cured, stretched and tanned leather right here on Durham Street — one of the last working tanneries in the Cape Town city bowl. When it closed, the sheds sat empty for two decades, quietly becoming the backdrop for street art, skate sessions and warehouse parties.
The Tannery keeps that raw energy and puts 96 homes inside it. Original brick and steel trusses stay exposed. Polished concrete floors run underfoot. Everything new — kitchens, bathrooms, glazing — is dropped in clean and modern, so the old bones do the talking.
It sits inside Woodstock's fastest-changing few blocks: roastery coffee two doors down, a Saturday design market around the corner, the harbour and the mountain both a ten-minute ride away. Built for people who work hard, host often, and don't want a beige apartment doing the talking for them.
Three floorplans, one attitude. Every unit ships with polished concrete floors, exposed services, and floor-to-ceiling steel-framed glazing as standard.
